The chairman’s corner Next away match...

Welcome back to a new season with Långholmen Football Club!

As you know the we’ve had quite an eventful break. The rule about home grown players threatened to stop us from playing in Div 3, so we had to ask for an exemption from that. After first Next LFC away match: having been turned down we finally succeeded Date/time: 2010-04-23, 19:00 in this. There were a couple of nervous months before we got the final decision, to say the least. Konyaspor KIF - Långholmen FC Alby IP Training outdoors has, obviously, been impossible this winter, not only for us but for more or less everybody in Stockholm. The organization for div II and III clubs in Stockholm have sent a collective letter to the person responsible for sports (“Idrottsborgarrådet”). It is a waste of resources to have what would be perfectly playable pitches covered in snow the whole winter. If they can clear the pitches in Solna, they should be able to do so in Stockholm too, one would think...

LFC this year has 8 teams, which is one more than last year. In other words there is hardly a day in the week when a football is not kicked by a Stripe. There is a lot of hard work put in to make this possible, and I would like to thank everybody Next LFC home match: involved. Date/time/team: 2010-05-08, 14:00, Långholmen FC - Tyresö FF

And introducing Max Hallberg.....

A new season often means a change in personnel and 2010 is no different with some new additions to both squad and management. Chris Latham leaves the senior team after helping to guide them to the league title last season and is joined by club captain Robbie Graham in their quest to lead the reserves to another title. Stuart Lascelles takes over and is joined by Max Hallberg. Max has been a qualified coach at national level since 1988 and has an impressive pedigree. Some of the clubs he has been involved with include Ängby, Ekerö, Skå, Vaxholm and Danderyds IK. In his spare time Max likes to indulge in a round of golf and is an avid Djurgården fan and is a current season ticket holder, apart from Långholmen FC his other favourite club is Everton FC. The big man can also be seen in the last 5 Beck films as an extra. He looks forward to this season and predicts a mid-table finish for Långholmen. We welcome you to the club Max.
